11 12/13 Operation The principal function of this tool is to shrink or to stretch sheet metal up to 16 gauge mild steel (1.5mm). You can make a radius down to 1 inch. Apply force with the foot on the foot pedal in a downward direction to activate the jaws. NOTE: only apply pressure to the foot pedal when there is material placed between the jaws. Move the material between every stroke of the pedal. Work slowly and smoothly for best results. Finish your part by using an English Wheel or Planishing Hammer for a smooth surface. WARNING! Do NOT apply force on the foot pedal without having a piece of sheet metal in between the jaws. The jaws will prematurely wear or break if they come into contact with themselves. This type of misuse can be detected afterwards, will not be covered under warranty.
